3 New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: Getting Started Guide ©NPDL 2016
Welcome to New Pedagogies for Deep Learning! We are a global innovation partnership dedicated to transforming
learning by building knowledge about deep learning competencies,
the pedagogical practices that develop them, and ways to
measure progress. We believe every child deserves an
opportunity to develop the competencies of collaboration,
communication, critical thinking, creativity, character, and
citizenship so that they flourish in a complex world. We are
joined by families, teachers, leaders and policymakers worldwide
who are jointly seeking ways to transform pedagogy and provide
conditions that will facilitate deep learning.
Our Purpose:
To foster deep learning so that all learners contribute to the common good, address
global challenges and flourish in a complex world.
We will do this through:
Engaging systems in collective effort to mobilize deep learning.
Identifying deep learning work within those systems.
Capturing and cultivating new pedagogies that advance deep learning.
Operationalizing, refining and validating measures for deep learning.
Diffusing new practices and understandings

Our theory of change
The design of quality learning experiences fusing existing and new pedagogies and accelerated by digital technologies will build deep learning competencies in learners.
Deep Learning Competencies Framework Six deep learning competencies define what it means to be a deep learner. Learning
progressions for each of the 6 competencies add precision by specifying the dimensions of
each competency. They are used to design and assess learning and to measure growth in the
competency.
The six elements in the Deep Learning Competency Framework are:
CREATIVITY
Having an “entrepreneurial eye”
for economic and social
opportunities, asking the right
inquiry questions to generate novel ideas, and
leadership to pursue those ideas and turn them
into action.
CRITICAL THINKING
Critically evaluating information
and arguments, seeing patterns
and connections, constructing
meaningful knowledge, and applying it in the
real world.
CITIZENSHIP
Thinking like global citizens,
considering global issues based
on a deep understanding of
diverse values and worldviews, and with a
genuine interest and ability to solve ambiguous
and complex real‐world problems that impact
human and environmental sustainability.
COLLABORATION
Working interdependently and
synergistically in teams with
strong interpersonal and team‐
related skills including effective management
of team dynamics and challenges, making
substantive decisions together, and learning
from and contributing to the learning of
others.
CHARACTER
Learning to deep learn, armed
with the essential character
traits of grit, tenacity,
perseverance, and resilience; and the ability to
make learning an integral part of living.
COMMUNICATION
Communicating effectively with a
variety of styles, modes, and
tools (including digital tools),
tailored for a range of audiences.
Please note: Leveraging Digital applies across all Deep Learning competencies
5 New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: Getting Started Guide ©NPDL 2016
How do we shift from Traditional to Deep Learning? Four elements combine to create the new pedagogies that foster deep learning.
6 New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: Getting Started Guide ©NPDL 2016
The Collaborative Inquiry Cycle The Collaborative Inquiry cycle is used to mobilize and collectively create the knowledge
required to enable whole system change and deep learning. At every level of New
Pedagogies for Deep Learning (i.e., within schools, within clusters, and across the entire
global partnership), we use the Collaborative Inquiry Cycle:
Students design, assess and
monitor their own learning
Teachers collaborate to assess,
design, implement and reflect and
adjust learning; and
Leaders assess the learning
conditions that support deep learning
and design strategies to create
improved conditions.
A Suite of Tools The Suite of tools is both a design and evaluative monitoring system. It is used to shift
practices and demonstrate and measure student progression in the 6 Global Competencies
for Deep Learning. The suite of tools are used within the Collaborative Inquiry Cycle
7 New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: Getting Started Guide ©NPDL 2016
Tools for designing deep learning:
The Deep Learning Progressions provide a description of the dimensions of each
competency and possible pathways for student progress. The progression is used to
assess strengths and needs for designing the learning. They are also used to monitor
progress and to evaluate development along the progression.
The Learning Design Protocol guides the design of deep learning experiences
through a series of prompts. It anchors discussion about design elements for the deep
learning process
The Learning Design Rubric is a tool to assess the quality of the learning design and
make improvements in design that will accelerate or deeper future learning.
Tools to assess conditions for deep learning:
The School Conditions Rubric identifies the conditions that need to be in place to shift
practices to deep learning.
The Cluster Conditions Rubric identifies the conditions that are needed to support a
transformation to deep learning across all schools.
The System Conditions Rubric identifies the conditions that are needed to support the
mobilization of deep learning across all schools in the district, state, province, country or
education system.
The New Measures system; Roles and Responsibilities The components of this system are designed to measure shifts in practice and the
development of Global Deep Learning Competencies.
Deep Learning Progression Ratings – Rubrics designed to measure and track student
progress in developing deep learning competencies
Deep Learning Conditions Ratings – Measure the system, cluster and school
conditions that support deep learning outcomes
Deep Learning Exemplars – Examples of learning designs and learner outcomes that
illustrate deep learning competencies

Key Roles of Cluster and Associate Network Leadership Each Cluster and Associate Network is able to structure their leadership team in the best way
that fits their context. Here are a few key roles for Cluster and Network leadership in New
Pedagogies for Deep Learning. These roles can be combined or shared among individuals or
teams.
Cluster Leads / Associate Network Leads:
Key Strengths: using strategies, approaches and initiatives to lead change Primary Roles and Key Tasks can include the following:
Lead and coordinate implementation across the Cluster / Associate Network Select and support Capacity Building and New Measures leads plan regional events and capacity building
participate in the monthly Global Cluster Team Calls
connect one-on-one with the Global Directors (Clusters only)
attend the NPDL Global Events
10 New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: Getting Started Guide ©NPDL 2016
Capacity Building Leads
Key Strengths: system-wide design of learning experiences and support structures for deep
implementation of changes in practice
Primary Roles and Key Tasks can include:
• design a capacity building strategy
• Design strategies to share and implement NPDL within the Cluster.
• develop local learning experiences based on global resources
• support implementation of the Collaborative Inquiry Cycle
• support the design of Deep Learning Tasks
• provide coaching and modelling, and collect student work products
• foster contributions of student work products and learning designs to the Deep
Learning Hub
• Attend NPDL Events
Global Support: Capacity Building Institutes are offered to school leads and capacity building facilitators by a
Global Regional Facilitator. As well six prototype modules have been designed to support
schools and clusters in building capacity locally. They provide PowerPoints, videos and
exemplars. Samples of implementation strategies and resources from existing clusters are
also collated for your use.
New Measures Leads
Key Strengths: system-wide assessment and accountability measures implementation and in
using evidence to inform decision making
Primary Roles and Key Tasks can include:
• Implement New Measures across Cluster
• Present key data and findings at the Cluster and country levels
• Implement the New Measures in schools:
o Use rubrics and Learning Progressions
o Collect learning tasks from teachers
o Collect student work products
o Analyze local and global data

11 New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: Getting Started Guide ©NPDL 2016
• Publish findings in country
• Attend NPDL Events
• Connect one-on-one with the Global New Measures Director (Clusters Only)
Digital Requirements The level of accessibility to Digital is a critical consideration for each Cluster in the New
Pedagogies for Deep Learning Global Partnership. A key goal of our partnership work is to
accelerate learning by leveraging Digital. Thus, it is expected that all Cluster partners offer or
plan to offer a Digital-rich environment in the majority of the schools involved in the Clusters.
In the simplest of terms, we would expect that schools offer access to Digital (computers,
laptops, tablets, other devices and a reasonable speed of internet connectivity) for all
learners, both in and out of school. While we don’t want to be overly prescriptive, a level of
ubiquity of access for learning is critical. As the project will involve learners focusing on the
creation of content, it is important that the available Digital tools support this creation rather
than just consumption.
The key point for Clusters to consider is whether students will have sufficient access to
software and hardware that will assist teachers and students in the creation of Deep Learning
Tasks. These tasks move them beyond basic uses of digital technology and into activities in
which extended practice and development of the Deep Learning Competencies is possible.
How to start forming a NPDL Cluster or Associate Network Have 100 schools ready to join?
Then you can start your own NPDL Cluster!
NPDL Clusters consist of at least 100 schools that work collaboratively with each other and
the Global Directors. Each Cluster has a Leadership Team that supports implementation and
capacity building within their Cluster and country.
What if there is already a NPDL Cluster in my country?
If there is already a NPDL Cluster in your country, you may be eligible to join! Simply contact
us and let us know that you are interested in joining your country’s Cluster. We will connect
you with the Cluster Leadership Team.

Have five or more schools ready to implement deep learning?
Start your own NPDL Associate Network!
NPDL Associate Networks are groups of five or more schools who wish to utilize the Suite of
Tools and the Deep Learning Hub independently.
Why five schools?
A key component of the NPDL Whole System change process is the learning and new
knowledge that comes from collaboration. The learning partnerships that develop between
Associate Network schools as they assess, analyze, measure and change is critical to
improving conditions to allow for Deep Learning.
Associate Network Benefits:
Full Teacher and Network Team Access to the Deep Learning Hub and the Suite of
Tools
Discounted registration for NPDL Global Events
Access to the New Measures Data submitted by your network and the Global New
Measures Report
Participation Fee: $2,000 USD/per school each y Each Cluster and Associate Network has access to a range of resources and enablers that will
help Explore Local Partnerships
In addition to the partnership between NPDL members, each Cluster or Associate Network
should also explore the resources and expertise available to them through their own local
partnerships. These partnerships could include:
• Student(s): Students who represent all groups in your country
• Teacher(s): Strengths in rigorously and transparently questioning pedagogical
approaches
• Parent(s): Deep Learning happens outside the classroom and parents are a key
resource
• Education Leader(s): Strengths creating a shared understanding about what matters
most, what's most urgent, and why.
• Community and Industry: Parents and families, cultural and community leaders,
business leaders
13 New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: Getting Started Guide ©NPDL 2016
• Ministry or Government Representative/Policy: Strong voice to support whole-
system change approach and strengths in determining the value of outcomes and/or
the quality or effectiveness of an approach, initiative, program, policy, or other entity,
and then making changes
Frequently asked questions for Getting Started (FAQs)
What does NPDL cost?
The cost for NPDL Participation breaks down as follows:
Full Cluster: $200,000 USD/per Cluster each year
Associate Network: $2,000 USD/per school each year
Can we charge schools extra for implementation cost?
The NPDL cost covers access to the NPDL Hub, Suite of Tools and resources. Cluster or
Network Leads may have their own overhead costs to cover for implementation and capacity
building. Each Cluster and Associate Network is free to implement their own additional
pricing structure based upon need. Attendance at NPDL Global events is on a user pays basis.

Appendix:
Appendix 1: Sample of a Deep Learning Progression Collaboration Deep Learning Progression Work interdependently and synergistically in teams with strong interpersonal and team-related skills including effective
management of team dynamics and challenges, making substantive decisions together, and learning from and contributing to
the learning of others.
Dimension Limited Evidence Emerging Developing Accelerating Proficient
Working interdependently as a team
Learners either work individually on learning tasks or collaborate informally in pairs or groups but do not really work together as a team.
Learners may discuss some issues or content together, but skip over important substantive decisions (such as how the process will be managed), which has significant adverse impacts on how well the collaboration works.
Learners work together in pairs or groups and are responsible for completing a task in order for the group to achieve its work. At this level, tasks may not be well matched to each individual’s strengths and expertise, and group members’ contributions may not be equitable.
Learners are starting to make some decisions together, but may still be leaving the most important substantive decisions to one or two members.
Learners decide together how to match tasks to the individual strengths and expertise of team members, and then work effectively together in pairs or groups. Learners involve all members in making joint decisions about an important issue, problem, or process, and developing a team solution.
Learners can articulate how they work together in a way that is interdependent and uses each person’s strengths in the best possible way to make sound substantive decisions and develop ideas and solutions.
Interdependent teamwork is clearly evident in that learners’ contributions are woven together to communicate an overarching idea and/or create a product.
Learners demonstrate a highly effective and synergistic approach to working interdependently in a way that not only leverages each member’s strengths but provides opportunities for each to build on those strengths and learn new skills.
This includes ensuring that substantive decisions are discussed at a deep level that ensures each team member’s strengths and perspectives are infused to come to the best possible decision that benefits all.
Interpersonal and team-related skills
Although learners may help each other on tasks that contribute to a joint work product or outcome, interpersonal and team-related skills are not yet evident. Learners do not yet demonstrate a genuine sense of empathy or a shared purpose for working together.
Learners report and demonstrate a sense of collective ownership of the work and show some interpersonal and team-related skills. The focus is on achieving a common or joint outcome, product, design, response or decision, but at this level the key decisions may be taken or dominated by one or two members.
Learners demonstrate not only good interpersonal skills and collective ownership of the work; an active sense of shared responsibility is also evident. From beginning to end, the team listens effectively, negotiates and agrees on the goals, content, process, design, and conclusions of their work.
Learners can clearly articulate how joint responsibility for the work and its product or outcome pervades the entire task. Strong skills in listening, facilitation, and effective teamwork ensure that all voices are heard and reflected in the ways of working or work product.
Learners take an active responsibility, both individually and collectively, for ensuring that the collaborative process works as effectively as possible, that each person’s ideas and expertise are used to maximum advantage, and that each work product or outcome is of the highest possible quality or value.
